Bulletin

According to the Daily Telegraph, a man was recently jailed for over 20 years for murdering his wife.  Apparently he was unhappy with her bridge and constantly criticised her play in front of friends and other club members.  Personally I think he was lucky to only get 20 years because I am sure that she must have wanted to murder him on many occasions.   


Summer Cup
Summer Cup

With two weeks left for the Summer Cup 71 people have now qualified.  John and Fiona Honey are the joint leaders with Brian Youd now in third place, Rosemary Pallot and Norman Le Cocq are holding 4th place and Mike Newman is sitting sixth.  One really good result could change all this, so don't stop trying!

Dates for your Diary

11th December 2010 - Christmas Party at Eastern Good Companions

4th October 2010 - there is to be a bridge afternoon and tea in aid of the Jersey Cheshire Homes.  It is to be held at St Lawrence Parish Hall between 2pm and 5pm and tables can be booked by phoning Tania Reed on 725193.  The cost is £8 per person (£32 per table).

EBU - Club Focus

The latest edition of the EBU newsletter entitled Club Focus has been printed and can be viewed at http://www.ebu.co.uk/cf/documents/Currentedition.pdf

Host System
As you are all aware, our club operates a host system where we have a spare person available to play with anyone who comes up to the club on their own.  Over the years this has worked incredibly well but it is always the same people who volunteer.  Some of our club members seem to think that this system does not apply to them.  If everyone was on duty once a year, their turn would only come round every two years.  Surely this isn't too much to ask!  Please take your turn and sign up now.

Welcome to the Highfield Bridge Club's Website.  All bridge players are welcome at our friendly club and on most evenings there is a Host player.  Duplicate Bridge with master points is played (normally in two sections) allowing for all standards of play.

When and Where to find us

The Club meets every Tuesday at Elim Oasis Community Centre, Gordon Le Breton Close, Plat Douet Road, St Saviour.  Please be there by 7.20 pm at the latest.

When and Where to find us
Car Parking

Car Parking is very tight as you all know at Elim and I wondered whether people might be prepared to meet up at the Jersey Recreation ground and then drive up in one car and thereby ease the parking at Elim.  Do you have any thoughts on this?

Car Sharing
Please try to come to Elim with other people.  A full car would really help the parking situation. We ask that you continue to park as close to other cars as is feasible.  There is also room for at least 6 cars down the side of the building and this is probably one of the easiest places to park providing you reverse in. Please leave the left hand side of the car park clear to enable people to turn round and reverse into spaces and finally, the area just outside the entrance should be left clear for cars with disabled passengers.
Highfield Accounts
The Highfield Accounts for the year ended 30th April 2010 are available for you to see, just click on Balance Sheet in the menu.
Thankyou
I would like to thank all those people who have acted as Tournament Director over the last few weeks.  The rota system seems to be working well and I am grateful for your continued support.

Bridge Etiquette
There is a very interesting article on the Information pages on Bridge etiquette.  Please do have a look at it and see if there is anything that you could improve upon during a bridge session.  We all waste time by chatting between hands and explaining to our partners how "they could have made their contract".  Please be brief and don't hold up play whilst having your own discussions.  Finally please be polite at all times both to your opponents and your partner, we are all there to have a pleasant evening.

EBU Database
When Pay2Play comes in to force in April, it will be necessary for us to provide the EBU with everyone's name, address, telephone number and email if possible.  Please be sure to let us know if you have moved since joining the Club. We also need to know the EBU membership numbers for existing members of the English Bridge Union.  All members of the club will automatically become members of the EBU and receive the magazine and other benefits accordingly.
